How often do you bath your westie. From what I have heard bathing them frequently isn't the best thing for them as it will deplete their skin of their oils.
Not sure what everyone else thinks but I am not a believer in giving dogs just raw meat as I don't think they get all their nutrients from raw meat so this could be a contributing factor to the skin condition. My boy only eats Eukanuba dry dog food and has done since being a puppy.
Zac showed signs of a slight skin condition when he was younger (he is only 1 yr old now) and I found bathing him less has helped.
Good luck - unfortunately it is a Westie trait and a process of elimination
